f 4 B Household Hints WHEN7 making meringue, ex tend the quantity of beaten whites of eggs by adding one tablespoon of water for each white. The expansion of cold air in both the egg and water increases the quantity to a noticeable degree. To fasten pearl buttons on a dress so that they are easily removed when the dress is to be washed, sew them on a safety pin. Removing the pin, attach the buttons to the dress by a single cord run through the dress and between the under side of the button and the crossed threads. Muffin nans containinc a Amm cups can be used successfully for half the quantity by filling the empty compartments with water. Ink stains can easily and quickly be removed from the hands by moistening the head of a match and rubbing it over the stains. When the key opener of a tin can ccts stuck and will not turn, it can be moved by placing a screw driver through the handle and using it as a lever. If the china closet has no ridge in which platters standing up on edge ran be sot, screw a round brass cur tain rod as a substitute rack. A snap fastener under a turnback cuff at the front will keep it from turning down over the hand and will not hold it close about the wrist. To make potted plants grow more successfully, water the ground in which they are planted instead of the plants themselves. riacing fine glycerin on peach stains and then washing will remove them from a tablecloth. A novel and attractive whisk has a painted head of wood for a handle. The cover is of black patent leather. Paris has adopted quilting. On frocks of thin materials, on wraps of heavy cloth, skirts and even on hats it is found. Sometimes it is stitched in intricate designs and some times simply latticed in squares or diamonds. With a Real Snap. To make summer prinks with a real snap, first of all the sugar must be blended in; enough materials must be used to give the drink a characteristic flavor, rather than that pale, anemic taste with whichiwe are all familiar. But the judicious addi tion of a charged water, of ginger a.t or some strong tea, or the blending in of a little orangeade syrup which contains the pungency of the orange rind, the addition of mint either as leaves, or when steeped, or the use of certain water ices in combination with tea, or a fruitade, will go a long way toward placing a drink in the flass of the unusual. Summer Beverages. Imagination and originality can play an important part in the making of interesting summer drinks. Whereas recipes are always splendid guides, they may often be modified to suit the season, the cost of fruits, and the contents of the ice box. There may be left over some cher ries, which have fallen from the stem, a dish of raspberries, and pos sibly a prune or two, or some cooked figs, or rhubarb, either cooked or raw. In they may go, all together with as much water as common sense may dictate, be stewed all tender, sweetened a lit tle more than for plain sauce, strained, chilled and served with the addition of a little lemon juice and chilled or charged water. Shirred Eggs. Lightly butter six shirred egg dishes or the amount required. Care fully break two eggs into each dish, season evenlv with salt anH npnnpr and place in.a hot oven for four min utes. Place one ounce of good but ter in a fry pan and shuffle on a brisk fire until it attains a brown color, then pour in a teaspoon of good vinegar, lightly shuffle and then pour over the eggs evenly divided, place in the oven again for half a minute and serve at once. Potatoes. If you would steam your potatoes with the best results, try putting a cloth over them before setting the lid on the kettle. They will take much less time to cook and be more mealy than when done in the or dinary way. Cooling Drinks. The most cooling summer drinks are those containing fruit juices, either singly' or in combination with other juices, or with tea. However, they should not be mode oversweet, as this not only shrouds the flavor of the fruits but adds an excess of sugar which is an energy maker or heat producer, thereby defeating the purpose of the drink itself. Rice Fritters. Mold boiled rice, sweetened and flavored, in a 'shallow pan. When cold slice and dip in flour and fry in a little butter. As soon as one side is brown sprinkle it with cin namon, allowing the heat to melt the spice and penetrate the fritter. Serve on small plates, with a mound of currant jelly on each. Strawberry Shortcake. The best known strawberry recipe is the strawberry shortcake. To make it you will need a pint of raised bread dough, one egg, a quart of berries, half a cup of milk, a tablespoon of sugar, two tablespoons of butter and a cup of sugar. Work the sugar, melted butter substitute, beaten egg and the milk into the bread dough. Pour into layer-cake pans and let rise until very light, then bake in a moderate oven until a light brown. Add the sugar to the strawberries and partly crush with a silver fork. Place a layer of the baked shortcake on a plate; cover with the crushed ber ries. Let stand until it has absorbed most of the juice, then place on the second layer and repeat. Decorate the top layer with the beaten white of egg or whipped cream, shredded coconut, and a few whole straw berries. A raised shortcake is more I wholesome than the pastry ones and saves fat. It is still important to observe this wartime economy in cur cooking. Harlequin Pudding. Strawberry; harlequin pudding, another-variation of the strawberry dessert, requires, a quart' of milk, a pint of berries, two eggs, a quarter teaspoonful salt, a cupful sugar, six tablespoonfuls cornstarch, a cupful shredded pineapple, a teaspoonful vanilla. Place the milk in a double New Regent Rtnehart-Marsden Photo. Mrs. R. A. Finley was elected re gent of the Omaha chapter of the D. A.

Adams, chaplain Board of direc tors include Irs." Edgar Allen, re tiring regent; Mrs. C. H. Aull and Mrs. Homer Stuntz. Mrs. F. P. Larmon gave a report of the D. A. R. continental congress which was held in Washington, D. C, in April. A musical program, given under direction of Miss Luella Anderson, included several groups of songs by Mrs. V. D. Benedict, accompanied by Mrs. Harry Nelson. Little Miss Kathryn Bazinger gave two violin numbers, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. W. F. Bazinget. At this meeting the chapter voted to contribute $100 toward the sol diers' memorial that is to te built in Lincoln. Silk Underclothes When ironing silk underclothes keep a bowl of thin cold water starch on the board; dip a small brush in the starch and run it along the lace insertion in the top of combinations or camisoles. This gives the lace a proper degree of stiffness and pre vents the top of the garment from having the limp look that silk under clothes acquire when washed. This method is the best way of treating fine hand-made underclothings that have a lace insertion, and is also good for fine blouses. If a sponge becomes slimy and sour it can be thoroughly cleaned by soaking frequently in a strong borax solution.

Sellers of Council Bluffs, which took place boiler and "add the sugar and salt; thicken when it comes to a boil with the cornstarch blended in a little cold milk or water. Divide into the portions, and into one portion stir the well-beaten egg yokes and the pineapple and cook for a few min utes longer. Flavor the other por tion with vanilla extract and when partly cold stir in the whole straw berries. Pour a layer of the pine apple cornstarch into a mold, then a layer of the .strawberry cornstarch, another layer of pineapple and an other layer of strawberry corn starch. When cold and firm turn out onto a plate or shallow dish and garnish around the base and on the top with large, whole straw berries. Place a quart of water in a sauce pan, add a cupful of sugar, the juice of the lemon and a bit of the rind and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the peel and stir in one pint of mashed berries. Pass through a sieve and add a little red fruit cole-ring if you desire a deep pink ice. Let stand to cool. ' Make the mer ingue by boiling a cupful of honey to the hand-ball stage and pour over the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and beat up until light and foamy. Add the pinch of salt to the egg whites before beating up. Sugar may be used instead of honey. In that case add a fourth cupful of water to a half cupful of sugar. Fteeze the strawberry mixture just about half, then add the meringue. This should make a delicious creamy ice. Let siand for a few hours to ripen up. Wicker Furniture Popular This Season Especially adapted to sun rooms, porches, and informal living rooms is the modern wicker furniture that has won a rightful place in the esteem of the economical buyer. It is so vastly superior in form, color and comfort to ornate furniture of the same low price. As wicker is hand made, it has a certain artistic merit. It is light and easily handled, and it is durable and may be gayly trimmed and tinted Willow wicker, reed, rattan, bam boo, and cane all are included in the wicker family. The majority of these types are domestic, though the hour glass and the flaring fan backed chairs, so well beloved for studios, are still being isnported from China. Closely woven reed furniture is the most expensive of the group, and lovely sets are to be had in especiall) designed forms. Long chairs, with arms, reclining backs, comfortable pads, and cushions rival the day beds. Painted wicker, which was some thing of a novelty several years ago, seems to have become permanently popular. Stained with a walnut or antique mahogany stain, and fitted with suitable cushions, a few wicker chairs may be used in rather preten tious apartments. Painted in light color they are delightful combined with painted cottage furniture for bedroom use. The tones most like able are the pastel tints. Decorators who approve the "modern" school waive the softer shades in favor of clear, brilliant colors, even combin ing two bright hues. The body of chairs, for example, may be royal blue and the edges emerald green, or the body plum and the edges saf fron. Accessories are varied and abund ant. A cunning little muffin stand is among the new comers, and a lit tle tea table with detachable tray, and bird cages galore, and writing tables, and nice flower stands ana flower boxes, and cute little foot stools, and enchanting flower bas kets. Among the season's favorites is the swinging day bed for sun room use. It is upholstered in block linen in mauve, turquoise, and green. One cushion is in mauve rep, another in lemon, organe, and black stripe, while the remainder of the furniture is cushioned in mauve and turquoise, on a deep blue plum ground. The flooring is slate and the rug gun metal gray, striped with blue. The curtains are of mauve gauze, and the small window panes are of light am ber glass. Pressing Woolens In pressing woolens use brown wrapping jpaper instead of cloth. Moisten trie paper by rubbing a wet cloth over it. Use a medium-hot iron and the creases stay in longer and there is no lint left on the gar ment is when cloth is used. In washing a pan in which pota toes have been cooked, rinsing with cold water first will make the clean ing easier. Tuesday at the home of the bride. Miss Anne English was bridesmaid. Mr. and Mrs. Sellers are now in Colorado and will be at home after July 1 in Council Bluffs. Dying Silk Here is an easy and satisfactory way of dyeing silk waists and silk underclothes. Buy several rolls of crepe paper such as is used for dec orations. Orange, green and red are good shades. When you wash silk things tear off a bit of the color desired and put it in the rinsing water. When the desired shade has been found, dip the wet silk clothes in it. The result will be as satisfac tory as using any of the dyes, and much cheaper. The orange dye made from crepe paper may be deep ened with a bit of the red crepe paper. Storing Blankets. Before putting blankets away for the summer, the particular house keeper desires to clean them, but is frequently deterred from doing so because of the fear of ruining them. A good white or wool soap mixed with borax and warm water, not hot, in the following proportions: One pound of soap to two ounces of borax and eight gallons of water, makes an excellent and effective cleansing fluid for blankets. Place the blankets in this solution twice; then rinse twice in warm water to which has been added one-half ounce of oxalic acid and one-third pint of acetic acid to fifteen gallons of water. If the blankets are col ored, do not use the oxalic acid. The blankets should be dried in the open air, and when dry the nap should be rubbed with a brush in one direction on both sides. THE OMAHA SUNDAY To Reside One of the prettiest out-of-town weddings of the week was that of Miss Margaret E. Langdon of Gretna, Neb., and Benjamin H. Patterson of Kearney which took place Thursday morning at the Catholic church in Gretna. Father Moran officiated. Misses Mary and Winfred Langdon, sisters of the bride, and Paul and Wallace Lang don, brothers of the bride, v ere the attendants. Catherine Langdon Jellies Jellies with a meat or vegetable basis have so many uses that they should be prepared more frequently. They can be made the main dish of the luncheon or dinner menu, arc especially good for Sunday night supper, as they can be made a day ahead, served cold without any addi tional fussing. As a garnish for cold meats or combined with lettuce or watercress they make attractive salads, and cold meat or vegetable jelly may be sliced thin and served as a filling for sand wiches. Chicken and salmon are the most popular basis for the meat jelly, and any other meat or vege table may be, combined with tomato or jellied by itself. Saving Steps To be efficient one should plan to save as many steps as possible. Keep a market basket within reach. Put all the articles that need to be taken upstairs in the basket as they collect and carry them all up at once.

VC KM Each Owner Thinks Hudson the Greatest It is due to the continued endurance and superior per formance of the Super-Six. Note how well satisfied are owners of Hudsons four and five years old. Then judge Super-Six qualities by comparison with other cars of the same period now in service. But what those owners of older models do not realize is the great strides made in Hudson development. Their satisfac tion in their car has closed their minds to the possibility of im provement. Yet each succeeding model has been a step nearer perfec tion. And now we have in the present type reached a degree that not only retains the advantage common to every Super Six its fleetness, acceleration and endurance but which re lieves the owner of mechanical concern. It gives him locomotion-like power and Pullman-like riding qualities. There is dignity, satisfaction and reliability in the present Super-Six which will be as notable five years hence as are now other recognized Hudson qualities of the first series. There can be no other car just like the Hudson, for patents give exclusiveness to the Super-Six motor.
